All my Level 1 users, hurry, I just found a way to hack MPSocial! Pm me, and for 3 easy, low cost payments of $947.99, you can be upgraded to the prestigious Level 10 that only @BrandonBerner and @wortime can access! Never let your level come into question again!
Nah, if you can’t tell by now, I don’t have magical powers that can do that (@Adnan you can take your finger off the Ban Button now 
). Honestly though, your Sensei is here today to show you, a fresh Level 1 newbie, how to obtain the highest ranks possible here at MPSocial. Our topics of discussion are as follows:
- Why the ranking system is the way it is.
- The best way to advance ranks.
- Closing thoughts.
Now. Let us begin.
1) Why the ranking system is the way it is.
Okay, so this concept is still kind of new to me, but I’ll explain it best as I can. The easiest way to look at the knowledge here is like a pyramid.
Each level of the pyramid are the varying levels of advance strategies, concepts, etc. Top guru info is at the peak, with advanced concepts in the middle, and general knowledge as the base.
Now, I already know what you’re thinking. “Jayyy, why in tarnation do I have to give an arm and a leg for Level 3?!?” Slow your roll, I’ll explain. The thing about a pyramid is… the top can’t be supported without a strong base. Look. I’m bout to dish out some tough love. I’ve been combing through a bunch of posts, not just recent, and have seen the same thing again and again by Level 1’s. They think that it’s unfair that all the high level people aren’t spilling all the top guru info. Let me break it down even further. This isn’t the @BrandonBerner show.
As much knowledge I know he has and everyone wants, put yourself in his shoes. Every single day you’re slammed with pm’s, with questions you’ve probably answered before. Every single day you watch newbies come in and fight to the death. You’ve seen the ups, downs, twists and turns ever since you’ve joined back in November 2016. All you want is a cup of coffee. I don’t know about you, but this is how I’d feel if I were him.
I’ve seen a lot of people spazz out because the top info is hidden. Fancy this though… what if it wasn’t???
I know I just blew your mind, let me finish though. Having everything opened would be terrible. There would be absolutely no reason for any newcomer to give value here at all. People would come and take what they need and go. What would that make people like @BrandonBerner do? Probably pack up and start their own forums where all their effort and work would be appreciated. And guess what, those forums would be locked too 
You see, nothing worth anything is free. A strong stable romantic relationship doesn’t happen in a week, it takes yearsss of effort and time. A shot at an investor forking over millions for your startup isn’t going to fall out the sky. It takes effort, research, and sometimes money. For example, it costs $10,000/hr to just speak with Mark Cuban!
All that to say this, MPSocial is a community, so let’s treat it as such. Alright, enough beating on ya, let’s get you advancing
2) The best way to advance ranks.
Alright, now that you’ve got the right mindset, let’s get into the practical stuff. What I’m about to teach you will get you into Level 3 the fastest way possible. This strategy is very simple:
“Absorb value and then give it back”
This cycle will turn the wheel that will drive you to Level 3.
Once again, I know what you’re thinking: JAY, there ain’t no value in this here pile of general knowledge!
I beg to differ. I spent 5 hours when I first joined this forum, absorbing all the “general” knowledge I could. Guess what? I found some gems that I could apply in this present moment. And I’m no rookie, I’ve been into Instagram for about a year, and have bought a few courses. I can tell good info when I see it. Then what did I do? I gave back with what I knew.
Everyone is given the same amount of time in the day, it’s just about what you accomplish with it. Lets look at some account stats here to help explain. (Disclaimer: if you recognize these accounts, please don’t spazz out if it’s yours. My intention is not to bash anyone, but demonstrate an example.) Alright, check out account #1
Now #2
And finally #3
What are your first impressions? Notice how even though the Days Visited are virtually the same, the rest of the stats are vastly different. Which account do you see has absorbed the most value in that time? Given the most back with posts and topics? Which do you think has a higher chance of getting promoted to Level 3? Realizing this, choose which one you want to be.
3) Closing thoughts.
Take this information for what it is. I know I talked about @BrandonBerner a lot as not being king, but there’s plenty more amazing people I’ve seen. @HenryCooper, @euhero, @dmc0245, @ian, @Babs, and @wortime just to name a few. Remeber everyone, this is a community, and you’re apart of it.
Now. This took me 7 hours to make, so if you chose right and took this info as value, or just had a good time laughing at my horrible jokes, go ahead and share some love by leaving a like 
from me.
